AN UNUSUAL SITE IN VERO BEACH THIS AFTERNOON. A PILOT WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING. THE SMALL PLANE LANDED AROUND NOON ON STATE ROAD 60 JUST WEST OF I-95. AS ARI HAIT TELLS US, THE PILOT AND HIS FAMILY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE BAHAMAS WHEN SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG. 3 intro - 36:28-43 - imagine this: four people on board this plane: a man, his wife, two kids. They're flying from Georgia to the Bahamas. They're about to make a stop in fort pierce. It's about fifteen miles away from where we are right now. The pilot tells me the plane just all of a sudden lost power.THAT PILOT IS TERRELL BARDEN - HE'S BEEN FLYING THIS BEECH 36 BONANZA FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS AND HE'S NEVER SEEN IT DO THISTerrell barden/pilot - 22:54-00 - we had a little shimmy in the plane. Then we had another shimmy and then we lost power. maris barden/passenger - 25:28-35 - I felt it start getting all bumpy. I didn't feel turbulence or anything and I didn't see the runway. BARDEN SAYS HE DIDN'T PANIC - HE HAD JUST ONE THOUGHT. Terrell barden/pilot - 23:07-13 - where are we going to put it down? If we have to go down quick, where are we going to put it down as safely as possible.maris barden/passenger - 26:06-12 - I was a little scared. So I just sat there and started praying and then I was fine after that.FORTUNATELY FOR THE BARDENS, THEY WERE DIRECTLY ABOVE STATE ROUTE 60 IN VERO BEACH. BARDEN WAS ABLE TO LINE THE PLANE UP AND USE THE HIGHWAY AS A RUNWAY - HE ACTUALLY AIMED TO COME DOWN IN FRONT OF A MOVING SEMI SO THE TRUCK COULD BRAKE AND STOP TRAFFIC BEHIND HIM - THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE ON BICYCLES OFF TO THE RIGHT. BARDEN SAYS THEY DIDN'T FLINCH AS THE PLANE HIT THE ROAD, TRAVELED ABOUT A HALF A MILE BEFORE STOPPING IN THE MEDIAN.maris barden/passenger - 27:09-15 - nice job dad. Way to not run over those bikers on the side of the road.Terrell barden/pilot - 23:45-54 - we practice emergency landings and off field landings with the belief that you'll never have to use that experience. But this time I did.tag - 35:09-16 - at this point, what caused the power to go out is still a mystery but the faa is investigating. In vero beach, ari hait, wpbf 25 news. 3
